While insisting this wasn't Trump’s fault, Noem blamed previous administrations for failing to update NOAA’s “ancient” systems—which would include Trump’s first term, no?
Trump tried to cut NOAA funding by billions over the first administration, but Congress basically kept funding steady.
NOAA isn’t under homeland security, so who knows why Numbskull Noem even talked about it.
Why didn’t they ask her if this was going to affect her ability to meet the arrest quota for illegals? Or if the weather response would take eyes off the border allowing the cartels to use this distraction to increase fentanyl shipments?
At least give her the proverbial rope to hang herself with questions in her own purview.
